In this position the member 14 is then rotated in one direction to bring the interior threads into coaction with the threads 4 on the neck 3 and the member screwed downwardly until the top 17 of the member engages the neck 3. The cap 9 is now placed in position so that the stud 7 and head 8 will enter the recess 11 and bore 12, and, upon rotatingthe cap in one direction, the interior threads of the recess 11 will engage the exterior threads 16 on the member 14 until the yielding pawls 18 on the top 17 of the member engage the teeth.

19 in the shoulder 13 of the cap 9. The member and cap will now be interlocked and the member disposed in position to close the outlet 6 in the neck 3, as shown in Fig. 1. In

order to open the'outlet 6, the cap'is rotated in a reverse direction, thereby forcing the teeth 19 against the-upper edges of the pawls 18 and so transferring the rotary movement to the member 14 which, in turn, cause the interior threads 15 to rotate on the threads 4 of the neck 3 and raise the member and cap together until the outlet 6 in the neck is ex posed, as shown in Fig. 2. The cap and member are limited in their upward movement by the top .17 of the member coming in contact'with the head 8 of thestud 7, thereby securing the cap against loss or displacement. When it is desiredto close the outlet 6, the cap withthe member locked therein is rotated so that the interior threads 15 of the member will engage the threads 4 on the neck 3. until the top 17 comes in contact with the neck 3, as shown in Fig. 1, in which position the outlet 6 will be closed.

In the form shown in Fig. 6,the neck 22'is provided with a reduced portion 23 extending upwardlythere'from and has a centrally disposed outlet 24 therethrough for the pas sage of the contents of the container. The cap 25 has a t'ubular bore 26 in which is secured a'flexible washer 27 of cork, rubber neck portion 23 with a collar 29 of cork or' other yielding material, which is arranged to beengaged by the top 30 of the member 31 as the cap 25 is unscrewed on the neck 22.

His obviousthat various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts'without'dep arting from the spirit and scope ofmy'invention; and hence,-'I do not intend to be limited tothe details herein shown and described except as they may be included in the claims.

What I claim is:

1. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap movable on said neck, and a cupshaped element-disposed in the cap and-arranged to engage the exterior of the neck for opening and closing said outlet and securing the cap against loss or displacement.

2. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap movable on said neck, and a cupshaped element interposed between the cap and the exterior of the neck for opening and closing said outlet and securing the cap against loss or displacement.

3. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on'the container having an outlet therein,'a cap movable on said neck, and a cupshaped element disposed in the cap and movable therewith, said element being arranged to engage the exterior of the neck for opening and closing said outlet and securing the cap against loss or. displacement. 1

4. A closure for containers comprising, a*

neck on the container having an outlet there- 1n,' a cap movable on said neck, and a cupshaped element interposed between the cap and neck for securing the cap-against loss or displacement, said element being movable with the cap and arranged to engage the exterior of the neck for opening and closing said outlet. i

5. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on'the container having an outlet therein, a stud uprising from said neck, a cap movable on the neck for opening and closing said outlet, a tubular bore in said cap for housing said stud, and a cup shaped element engaging the cap and stud for securing the cap against loss or displacement. p

'6. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a stud uprising from said neck, a cap movable on said neck for opening and closing said outlet,'a tubular bore in said cap for housing said stud, and a'cup shaped element in the cap arranged to engage the neck and stud forsecuringthe cap against loss or dis-* placement.

7. A closure for containers comprising, a

neck on the container having an outletthere in, a stud uprising from said neck and pro- 'vided with an enlarged head, a cap movable on said neck for opening and closing said outlet, a tubular bore in said cap for housing said stud and head, and a cup shaped element in the cap arranged'to engage the studand head for securingthe cap against loss or dis-v placement.

8. A closure for containers comprisingpa neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap'movable on said'neck, acup shaped element, carried by the cap and arranged'to' engage the neck for opening and'closing said outlet, and a device coacting with said element and cap for locking the element to the cap and securing the cap against loss or displacement.

9. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap movable on said neck, a cup shaped element having a threaded engagement with the cap and neck and arranged to open and close said outlet, and a device coacting with said element and cap for locking the element to the cap and securing the cap against loss or displacement.

10. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap movable on said neck, a cup shaped element having a threaded engagement with the cap and neck and arranged to open and close said outlet, and a device coacting with said element and cap for locking the element to the cap and securing the cap against loss or displacement, said device including a memher on the cap and a member carried by the element.

11. A closure for containers comprising, a neck on the container having an outlet therein, a cap movable on said neck, a cup shaped element having a threaded engagement with the cap and neck and arrangedto open and close said outlet, and a device including a rigid member on the cap and a yielding member carried by said element, said members serving to lock the element to the cap and secure the cap against loss or displacement.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 25th day of September, 1980.
